Or are they? Jake and Robert take you through time as they uncover the birth of recorded sound all the way into the modern, "$10/mo will get you any song on earth instantly." Should CDs live?

Ep:25 Kayfabe - What Do You Mean It's Not Real? Feb 19, 2018

Show notes

So, at this point in the game, we all know that there's a lot of funny business going on in the music "business". Players aren't really playing, singers arent really singing.... but do we really care? Kayfabe: "The suspension of disbelief." And does that have anything to do with the level of success of an artist, at all? Robert and Jake sit down with Jeff Jones (muician, singer, songwriter, really really old dude, and Jake's brother) and discuss why record labels and Grammy awards may truly have nothing to do with the "success" of an artist at all.
